Great news on the Wimbeldon money :j :j :j
I must have been lucky with our local FB buying & selling pages.

Great news about the laptop and Wimbledon :T :T I haven't been on Bingoport for years, I must try it again.
I've also seen people on here saying they have loads of success with FB, it's just awful here!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Received the Wimbledon money from the charity yesterday and had a call today from a lady at Wimbledon saying they were going to put us right at the front (so no stairs) in two seats on our own so we've got lots of room in front of us and nobody either side :j :j
Need a bit of a kick up the backside this month earnings wise. I'm just not feeling it. Although I must say I am keeping a very tidy house now. I don't leave the house unless it's looking nice and tidy. I am getting closer on Prolific though. I'm on £8.62 cleared and £8.46 pending.
I've started the PPI ball rolling. I'm going to get The Claims Guys to do the first bit (ie, see which lenders I had PPI with) and then I just won't carry on with them and will just write to them myself.

Ooh Emz, I'm so happy for you with the money for Wimbledon. I know how much of a tennis fan you are so to get the added bonus of the amazing seats and the payment is so exciting.
A little word of caution on your PPI. If a company does the work to find out that you have PPI outstanding then, even if you then claim by yourself, the Claims Guy are still likely to send you an invoice as they did the initial work for you. I've heard of a few people being caught out on that. I think the banks must contact the PPI companies to let them know it's been paid as I'm not sure how else they'd know. Things may have changed but may also be worth a little research.
I'm envious of your house deep clean! Mine is in need of major redecorating but I have a feeling I'll become as house proud as you are too!

Thanks for the warning MT - I only filled out the form online and I haven't even heard anything yet. Didn't put my phone number down so they can't pester me. I'll just rip up anything they send me. Better get cracking on sorting it myself then!!
I'm mega excited about Wimbledon!! Might even be able to get some autographs if we're that close.
I have to say it is lovely having a tidy, clean house for a change. My sister is coming over at the weekend, and it's nice that I don't have to rush around tidying up and cleaning what I can.
